A Cabinetry Studio for Century City Living
Century City occupies the former backlot of Twentieth Century Fox, a square mile of master-planned towers bounded by Santa Monica Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, and the green edge of the Los Angeles Country Club. Its skyline is defined by the twin Century Plaza Towers, the curved facade of the Fox Plaza, and the residential high-rises that line Avenue of the Stars and Century Park East and West. Crafting custom cabinetry since 2006, PineWood Cabinets designs and builds custom kitchens and cabinetry for the people who live above this skyline, from the storied Century Towers and the Park Place condominiums to the newer residences clustered near the Westfield Century City center.
Living in Century City is, almost by definition, living in a curated space. These are residences where the floor plan was drawn by an architect, the views toward the Pacific or the Hollywood Hills are part of the value, and the homeowner has chosen the convenience and security of a managed tower over the sprawl of a Westside lot. That choice shapes what a kitchen needs to be. Square footage is precise rather than generous, ceilings and structural columns are fixed, and the line of sight from a great room to a galley kitchen matters enormously. Cabinetry in this context is not decoration laid over a room. It is the architecture of the room.
Century City residences draw a range of homeowners: some have downsized from larger Brentwood or Bel Air homes, while others keep a Westside base near the dining and shopping of the Westfield center and the cultural draw of the Annenberg Space and the nearby Hammer Museum in Westwood. What they tend to share is an expectation of finish and a tolerance for nothing improvised. They are accustomed to a building where things work, and they want a kitchen that holds to that standard.
Working in a Century City tower is its own discipline. Freight elevator scheduling, building engineer sign-off, neighbor-quiet hours, and the realities of moving cabinetry to a thirtieth floor all factor into how a project is planned and built. We design around those constraints from the first measurement, so the installation is as orderly as the building expects and the finished kitchen feels as though it was always part of the residence.
Designing for the Vertical Westside
Century City was built on the idea that a city could be planned all at once, with order and intention, rather than left to grow on its own. The towers along Avenue of the Stars share clean lines, restrained palettes, and an architectural confidence that does not need ornament to make its point. Our design philosophy here follows that lead. We favor flat-panel and finely detailed door styles, integrated and concealed appliances, and material choices that read as quiet and deliberate rather than busy: rift-cut walnut, lacquered surfaces in soft neutrals, honed stone, and brushed metal that catches the changing Westside light through floor-to-ceiling glass.
High-rise kitchens reward precision over scale. A Century City residence rarely offers the open footprint of a Brentwood ranch, so the work is in the detail: full-height pantry walls that disappear into the architecture, appliance garages that keep a clean great-room sightline, drawer interiors organized to the centimeter, and lighting tuned so a galley feels expansive after dark. We treat the boundary between the kitchen and the living space, so often the same room in these towers, as a design problem to be solved with cabinetry rather than ignored.
We also design for the way Century City homes are actually used. Many residents entertain with caterers and dine out among the towers more often than they cook elaborate meals, while others have made a serious kitchen a priority. We build for both: clean, gallery-quiet cabinetry for the entertainer and fully provisioned working layouts for the cook, always within the fixed envelope the building provides.

What We Build for Century City Homes
From a full high-rise kitchen remodel to a single custom built-in, our work spans every part of a Century City residence.
The High-Rise Kitchen Remodel
Renovating a kitchen inside a Century City tower means working within plumbing chases, structural columns, and HVAC routing that cannot move. The reward is a kitchen perfectly fitted to the residence and its views. We reconfigure layouts to open the cooking space toward the living area and the windows, replace dated builder cabinetry with custom millwork tuned to the home, and integrate appliances so the room reads as architecture rather than a collection of parts.
Every remodel is planned around the building as much as the unit, with logistics, protection of common areas, and engineer approvals handled as part of the design rather than left to the last week.
Custom Cabinetry & Built-Ins Throughout the Home
A Century City residence asks more of its cabinetry than the kitchen alone. We design and build media walls that frame the skyline view, home-office systems for those who work from home between meetings, dressing rooms and closet millwork, wet bars for entertaining, and the kind of concealed storage that keeps a compact high-rise feeling open and uncluttered.
Designed and finished to match the kitchen, these built-ins let a single material language carry through the whole residence, so the home feels considered from the entry to the primary suite.
Why Century City Residents Work With PineWood Cabinets
In a neighborhood built on planning and precision, our cabinetry is made to the same exacting standard the towers were.
High-Rise Fluency
Building Logistics: We plan around freight elevators, certificate-of-insurance requirements, quiet hours, and engineer approvals so a tower installation runs without friction for the homeowner or the HOA.
Precision in a Fixed Envelope: When structural columns and plumbing chases cannot move, the design lives in the millimeters. We measure, draw, and build to that tolerance.
Westside Access: Century City sits minutes from Beverly Hills, Westwood, and Santa Monica, and we serve clients across that corridor with the same attention.
Craft Standards
Built, Not Boxed: Our cabinetry is custom-made rather than ordered from a catalog, so it fits the residence exactly and reflects the finish level a Century City home expects.
Material Integrity: We select woods, stones, and metals for character and longevity, and finish them to read as quiet and intentional in the clean light of a glass tower.
Whole-Home View: From the kitchen to the closets and media walls, we keep one design language so the residence feels coherent throughout.
From the towers along Avenue of the Stars to the residences near the Westfield Century City center, PineWood Cabinets is the studio Century City homeowners trust for custom kitchens and cabinetry built to last.

Styles That Suit Century City Homes
Century City is, for the most part, a vertical neighborhood of high-rise and condominium residences, and the cabinetry that belongs in a tower above Avenue of the Stars is built for a precise, fixed envelope rather than an open lot. We favor a clean, contemporary language here: flat-panel and finely detailed door styles, integrated and concealed appliances, and quiet materials such as rift-cut walnut, soft-neutral lacquer, honed stone, and brushed metal that read well in the light from floor-to-ceiling glass.
Space-efficient luxury is the discipline that defines this work. Full-height storage walls disappear into the architecture, appliance garages keep a clean great-room sightline, and drawer interiors are organized to the centimeter, so a compact high-rise kitchen feels considered rather than crowded. Because every cabinet is built to order, the species, door profile, finish, and hardware all stay your choices, never forced into a stock module.
We plan every installation around the building, sequencing the work to freight elevators, engineer approvals, and quiet hours so a tower project stays orderly. Browse our portfolio to see the range of work, or get in touch to talk through your residence.
Century City Kitchen & Cabinetry FAQs
Common questions from Century City homeowners planning a custom kitchen or cabinetry project.
Which Century City areas and buildings do you serve?
We work throughout Century City, from low-rise communities like Century Woods and Century Hill to the residential high-rises such as The Century, the Park Place towers, and the buildings along Century Park East. We also serve the immediately adjacent Westside, including Beverly Hills-adjacent, Westwood-adjacent, Cheviot Hills-adjacent, and Rancho Park-adjacent homes.
Are you licensed to do kitchen and cabinetry work in California?
Yes. PineWood Cabinets is a licensed California contractor (CSLB License #1095293) operating as a division of Voronenko & Ethen Associates, and we have designed, built, and installed custom cabinetry since 2006. Our studio is based in Rocklin, California, and we serve Century City and the wider Los Angeles Westside.
Do you handle design, building, and installation, or just one part?
All of it. We are a full-service design-build cabinetry studio, so the same team that measures your Century City residence designs it, builds the cabinetry, and installs it. You are not handed off between a separate designer, a cabinet vendor, and an installer, which keeps a high-rise project coordinated from first drawing to final pull.
How do you work inside a Century City high-rise or condominium tower?
Tower work is its own discipline. We plan around freight elevator scheduling, building engineer sign-off, certificate-of-insurance requirements, neighbor-quiet hours, and the logistics of moving cabinetry to an upper floor. We design within fixed structural columns, plumbing chases, and HVAC routing that cannot move, and we protect common areas so the installation runs the way the building expects.
Do you design contemporary cabinetry suited to these residences?
Yes. Many Century City residences favor a clean, contemporary language, so we work with flat-panel and finely detailed door styles, integrated and concealed appliances, and quiet material choices such as rift-cut walnut, soft-neutral lacquer, honed stone, and brushed metal that reads well in the light from floor-to-ceiling glass. We also build fully provisioned working kitchens for residents who cook seriously.
How long does a custom Century City kitchen take?
It varies with scope, but a custom kitchen is a multi-month process, because the cabinetry is built specifically for your residence rather than pulled from stock, and a tower project also depends on building approvals and scheduled access. We give you a realistic timeline at the start, after we have measured the space and agreed on the design.
